Chapter 426 But if it doesn't work...
Let Ke Xin make a mistake and leave?
No, this was obviously not feasible. He loved his daughter so much, how could he bear to see her being beaten and punished!
Just when he was full of anxiety, the housekeeper came hurriedly again, stood aside and winked at him from a distance.
Wang Decai's heart tightened, worried that she would do something irrational, and he hurried forward to greet her, "You are not in the greenhouse, what are you doing here? Did something happen over there?"
The nanny pretended to be calm and said, "There's a little problem in the flower room, so I came to ask you, sir. A pot of precious flowers is missing. I wonder if you've seen it?"
"Since you can't find it, don't look for it anymore. I haven't seen it either." Wang Decai implied that he had failed again this time.
When the nanny heard this, her face turned pale instantly and her eyes were full of anxiety.
But seeing Wang Decai constantly winking at her, she could only suppress her worry and leave quickly, fearing that she would attract other people's attention.
Over the next two days, Wang Decai racked his brains and tried various methods, but failed to help Ke Xin leave Fengyi Palace smoothly.
In desperation, he decided to go again in person!
When they arrived at Fengyi Palace, Wang Decai first paid his respects to Bai Wutong respectfully, and then asked about her health with concern.
After a quarter of an hour of pleasantries, he carefully mentioned Ke Xin, "Empress, the maid in charge of the flower room came to me and said that she has found a more capable maid for you and wants to replace Ke Xin. Ke Xin often made mistakes in the flower room and I'm afraid she is not qualified for the job in your house."
Bai Wutong smiled softly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Eunuch Wang, it seems that you are particularly concerned about this girl Ke Xin. You have been running to my place every day these past two days, and you have been trying to take her away openly or secretly. I am curious, what is the relationship between you two?"
Wang Decai was shocked, but he still kept a smile on his face, not revealing any flaws, "Your Majesty has misunderstood, I have no special relationship with her, I am just worried that she will not serve you well."
"Eunuch Wang, they say that caring too much can lead to confusion." Bai Wutong put down the teacup in his hand and stared at him straight in the eyes. "It seems that even someone as meticulous as you is no exception. After all, she is your only daughter. If something happened to her, you would definitely be heartbroken."
Wang Decai was struck by lightning and froze in place. It took him several seconds to come back to his senses.
He knelt on the ground with a plop, his voice trembling slightly, "Since the Queen already knew, why did she still do this?"
"It's very simple. I want to use her and ask you to help me do something." Bai Wutong leaned back in his chair, smiling, "If you do a good job, I will not only send her back unharmed, but also accept her as my sister, improve her status, and find her a good marriage. In this way, she will have a prosperous and worry-free life for the rest of her life, but if you don't do it well..."
Bai Wutong paused deliberately, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes, "Then I can't guarantee her safety!"
She had a smile on her face, but every word she said was terrifying and made people feel cold all over.
"Although I don't kill innocent people, I will do it to achieve my goal. Besides, your relationship is not something that can be made public. Even if I did something to her, would you dare to mention it in front of the emperor?"
Wang Decai's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat. "My queen, you...what do you want me to do?"
"Don't panic, Eunuch Wang. You know me well. I won't force you to do anything that is against the will of heaven or morality, and I will certainly not let you kill anyone. I just want you to do me a few small favors."
Bai Wutong's tone slowed down a little. "As for what exactly happened, I don't want to say it yet. I'll give you a few days to think about it. Now that the end of the year is approaching, it's a time for happy events. Don't let a happy event turn into a funeral because of a momentary decision."
Wang Decai felt cold all over at this moment. He had never thought that Bai Wutong, who seemed gentle on weekdays, had such a sharp side!
His methods are ruthless, no less than anyone else in the palace!
Wang Decai stepped out of the threshold of Fengyi Palace in a daze, until the cold wind blew, and he suddenly came to his senses.
If Ke Xin doesn't do as Bai Wutong asks, her life will be in danger.
That is his only flesh and blood in this world!
It is his hope to continue his bloodline, and there must be no mistakes!
Not long after walking away, the familiar and anxious figure of Nanny Huafang jumped out.
She looked flustered, her eyes full of anxiety, and asked bluntly, "You just came out of the Queen's Palace, right? How is it? Is she willing to let Ke Xin come back?"
Wang Decai looked grim and said in a low voice, "Not yet."
"Why not? How long are you going to delay?" The nanny was very emotional, her eyes were red, "Can't you think of a solution quickly? You are the chief steward in front of the emperor, how come you can't even save your own daughter? Did you not try your best at all, or... Ke Xin's identity was discovered?"
Wang Decai sighed and nodded helplessly, "You guessed it right, the queen already knows that Ke Xin is my daughter, she threatened me with this matter and forced me to help her. If I don't agree, Ke Xin will be in danger."
"Then why are you still hesitating? Promise her right away!" The nanny stamped her feet anxiously.
"It's not as easy as you think!" Wang Decai was annoyed and raised his voice to her for the first time. "This is in the palace. If we are not careful, we will all die!"
"You are such a heartless man! You promised me that you would marry me, and I foolishly entrusted myself to you. What happened? You turned around and entered the palace to become a eunuch! You ruined my life. I was beaten and scolded by my father when I was pregnant, but you didn't bear to abort her and even came all the way to the palace to find you! Now Ke Xin is in danger, but you are cowering! If anything happens to her, I will never forgive you! At worst, I will take care of the Queen's affairs!"
"Enough! Stop talking, I agree!" Wang Decai's face fell, as if he had aged several years in an instant.
In fact, from the moment Bai Wutong revealed his cards, he knew in his heart that he had no other choice.
For the sake of his daughter, he had no choice but to compromise. Even if there was an abyss ahead, he had to jump in!
The nanny finally stopped crying, stepped forward, and held Wang Decai's hand, "You are the chief steward, you can accomplish anything. When I am old enough to leave the palace next year, I will take Ke Xin back to my hometown immediately. By then, no one can threaten you!"
